  1. Ability to set the default Address Label (Totals Label)
    We always use Totals Label at POS and this would make it faster if it was default instead of selecting each time

  2. With an increase in Medical Cannabis use across Australia it would be great if Fred could develop a tally system to help pharmacists keep track on how much each patient is getting on a monthly basis
    E.g Joe Bloggs comes in to collect his cannabis and a pop up note comes up 30g left this month

    I understand that this is a small fish but would help us pharmacists out keeping our patients safe

  3. Add report for patient history notes (all patients for specific time frame). This would enable to check for interprofessional collaborations without needing paper based register as well

  4. Allow a hybrid drug ranking system during brand/drug search. I like the dynamic default rankings but would also like to see my high ranked drugs in a different colour

  5. we need the QR code to be printed on the duplicate sticker as it currently does on claim sticker. this will help with sorting the scripts and attach each duplicate to the claimable script and we do not have to go through mismatch everyday and move it to duplicates

  6. When part of a medication is owing (e.g 1 of 2 boxes) there should be an option to see what date & time the owing boxes were scanned. This will help prevent customer's saying they've already picked up the owing medication.

  7. When switching users to dispense a script, the default field to complete is initials, would be faster if the default field is password

  8. Allow the inclusion of a space in drug search to aid search through own brand drugs and cannabis products. Or a code such as % to search partway through drug descriptions.
    e.g. OBD is called CP Melatonin 1mg/2mL. If you search "CP MELA", drug search looks for just the "CP" which is a large range of other compounding OBD's. Could type %melatonin to find anything with melatonin anywhere in description?

  9. Patient profile notes. It takes a extra step (click in and out) to go into and out of patient notes. Previous FRED set up better.

  10. When reaching the SafetyNet, the Relationship field of the patient currently in use is defaulted to 'Applicant' on the PRF.

    Can this either be defaulted to the data in the 'Family Indicator' field in Patient Maintenance; or the Family Details list on the PRF sorted to have the family 'Head' default to the 'Applicant'.

    Medicare have advised me that they will reject incorrect relationships, including the use of the word 'Applicant' as opposed to 'Head, Spouse, Dependant Child or Dependant Student'.

  11. We have recently changed over to FRED and have noticed that you must have the customers full concession card number to record as a concessional price.

    With our other provider you only had to identify as C (Concessional number) and Medicare/PBS online would accept this if card was valid.
    We pre dispense all of our eye surgery hospital day cases (100+ per week) and are now having to look up Proda for this information.
    I am sure if this was available all pharmacy would find it very beneficial, saving time chasing up card numbers.
    Is this an option that could…

  12. Currently, new scripts required report will display a list of prescriptions dispensed which are on their last supply.

    Users have reported that when a new script is supplied by the prescriber and this script is deferred in the patients dispense history - the expectation is that the report will no longer list the previous last supply of the medication as new script required if a new deferred script record is available for it.

    This would avoid the need for users to cross check the new scripts required report against deferred scripts from patient history before providing the report to prescribers…

  13. The user wants an ability to delete script records from the "repeat remaining" (F3) screen. This could be helpful if a prescriber cancels an e-script repeat chain, causing it unavailable for dispensing. If they can remove it from the "repeat remaining" (F3) screen, it will avoid any confusion among users.

  14. At the moment there is a limit to only view 5 scripts on the right hand side of the medview basket, would like to it to be increase so there is no limit.

  15. We've been having issues with patients wanting to return medications for a refund.
    It would be great if there is a field in dispense options to add permanent notes to pharmacy receipts& invoices from FRED (kind of like the editable ads you can print on the sides of repeat papers).

    A disclaimer that says "Pharmacy medications cannot be returned once collected. " would have really helped us.

  16. Can we update FRED DISPENSE PLUS to print SN numbers (or concession numbers) on the top right hand-side of the label as FRED CLASSIC used to do?

  17. There are just over 40 drugs that are on the Prescriber Bag list (https://www.pbs.gov.au/browse/doctorsbag)

    Change the workflow so that you do not need to search for each drug. When a drs bag script is presented click the seach button in FD+ and display the dull Prescribers Bag list of items.
    Select the prescribed/ordered drugs by 'ticking' each item. Then have the ability to dispense in bulk.
    All these drugs will have the same date, same prescriber, no directions and are $0.00 this will help streaming the processes for these scripts.

  19. New column in wait screen showing the dispenser's initials for each script. It is helpful to quickly track down who dispensed each script. Can there be some more customisation with the column chooser so each user can choose what columns are displayed on the wait screen (e.g. earlier suggestion for Paid status of each script etc)

  20. Where searching generically, show all medications of that generic molecule. eg. when searching atenolol, noten does not appear as an option. Only medications with atenolol in the name appear
